Asymptotic Treatment of Differential Equations

Adelina Georgescu (auth.)9780412558603, 0-412-55860-2

The main definitions and results of asymptotic analysis and thetheory of regular and singular perturbations are summarized in this book. They are applied to the asymptotic study of several mathematical models from mechanics, fluid dynamics, statistical mechanics, meteorology and elasticity.Due to the generality of presentation this applications-oriented book is suitable for the solving of differential equations from any other field of interest.
